IN THE MONKEY TEMPLE.
A HindOo Place of Worship in the
Sacred CITY of Bpuares.

Sacred City of Benares.
This is the temple which is commonly
called the monkey temple, on account of
the large number Of monkeys, all living
Gods and Godesses, which were formerly
there in great numbers, says a writer in
the Sunday Magazine, describing q
Hindoo place Of worship. Some time be-
fore our visit a great many of these
monkeys had been sent away into the
jungle, because they were really becoming
dangerous In the neigh bOrhoOd. swarming
upon private houses around, thieving,
and in some cases injuring the little
children. AS we entered the sacred in
closure we were asked TO take from plates
some grain to feed the monkeys which
were still there, and this feeding of the
monkeys is considered by the people to
be most meritori0us act. Before enter
ing the inner Enclosure OF the temple there
Is building to be seen called the Maui
bat-khana, in which a large kettledrum
is beaten three times day. There are
tive small temples beyond this, and be-
tween these, two stone pillars. one of
which is used as an altar tor sacrifices.
Here We saw goat offered up. 1t was
first taken TO the priest and covered with

wooden post. and while one man held
it by its hind legs another with one
stroke OF an ak severed the head from
the body. The head was then laid on the
altar. while the body was taken to the
priests. In the interior OF the temple is
small shrine where sits in all her
hideousness the goddess. She is covered
with tinseled cloth, and it is SAID that
the priest keeps several masks on hand.
which he puts at will on the head of the
image; some are of brass, some OF silver.
etc. 1t is decorated with garlands and
chains OF gold; a small lamp is kept
burning on the shrine and a silver bath
sunk into the ground, While we
were watching the priest, as
he offered his flowers and
tinkled his little bell, an old pilgrim
from Lucknow came up and asked
aims of him. The merciless man answered
him that it was rather his business to give
aims to the temple than to ask it there,
and advised him to be contented, now that
he had reached Benares, for the best thing
for him now was to die In the sacred city.
The poor fellow seemed very hungry, and
L offered him a little biscuit had with
me, but L soon found that had made a
mistake, for the priest frOwned on me,
took the biscuit from the old man, and
brought water, which he poured over his
hands to wash away the pollution which
bad reached them from contact with my
biscuit.

Lawrence Barretrs Father.
From the Chicdgo Neacs.

From The ChicdgO Ne1os.
II there is one subject that Mr.. Law
renee Barrett is sensitive upon it is the
subject of his humble origin. Lawrence
Brannigan is his real name, and his father
is an ignorant but honest and kindly old
gentleman, who is vastly proud OF his
sons success, and who takes all his sons
snubs without murmur. The story is
told that one day last summer Mr.. Bar.
rett was awaiting train In one Of the
Boston railway stations; with his coat
buttoned close about him, with an UNI
brella under his arm, and with cigar in
his mouth, he presented very trim ap-
pearance as he walked brisklv I'D and
do wn the station platform. At one end
of the platform stood a group OF Irish
men, regarding the eminent tragedian
with admiring eyes one OF the group was
old man Brannigan.
THAT'S me by-me by Larry" said
the honest old fellow to his companions.
"Och, go 'long wild yees," said another.
'.By the mass, It's true for me-" Insist
ed the old gen tleman. THAT'S me by
Larry, the foinest actor in all AmerIky."
The crowd laughed at Mr.. Braunigan
and babe him 20 tell his yarns to the
m arines, So, just BIZ way OF squaring
himself and Of c0nfounding his tormen-
tors, the honest old fellow approached the
tragedian ana said in very friendly and
inviting tone:

But MIR. Barrett paid no attention TO the
call; he looked neither this way nor that
but kept on walking.
Larry, Oh Larry, me b'yV repeated
the aged father, In Louder tone.
But MIR. Barrett suddenly turned his
back and walked in the opposite direc-
ton.

time, and then, beng suddenly over

the deck of an excursion steamer that

Potomac one beautiful evening in the

last being the sweet petition so dear
